The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Going to the Stall to Find Mother and Daya Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Going to the Stall to Find Mother and Daya Going around in circles–she had picked up that expression from Shu Yu.

Shu Yu’s eyelids twitched as she stared at the miniature car and found herself unable to speak for a long while.

“Go ahead and play. I’ll pass on joining the fun,” she said as soon as she saw the old lady enter the kitchen. She promptly followed and spoke, “Grandmother, where did Mother set up her stall? I want to see how the business is doing.”

The old lady put a sack down on the ground. This sack contained all the mushrooms and wild vegetables they had gathered in Righteous Dao Village in recent days, which they had laid out to dry at home. The foot of the mountain in Righteous Dao Village had plenty, and since they couldn’t eat it all, they simply brought some to the county town for others to taste.

Besides that, Shu Yu had hunted several pheasants and hares in the mountains. There were quite a few, and they couldn’t eat them every day, sometimes opting for fish or pork instead.

So, there were leftover pheasants and hares. They kept the live ones, and the dead ones were either air-dried or turned into cured meat, which they also brought back.

Hearing that Shu Yu wanted to see Madam Ruan and Daya, she clapped her hands enthusiastically and said, “I’ll take you there.”

“No need, Grandmother, you should rest at home. Just tell me where it is, and I’ll go check it out myself. I can stroll around here while I’m at it; it’s been a long time since I’ve last been to the market.”

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s heart immediately went out to her, knowing she wanted to take her time and see things at her own pace. She readily agreed, “All right, then you go by yourself, but be careful.”

Having said that, she told Shu Yu the location of where Madam Ruan and Daya might be.

Shu Yu first helped her unpack everything from the sack, then washed her hands, greeted Dahu and Sanya who were playing in the yard, and went out.

By then, Sanya and Dahu had switched roles; one was pushing while the other was sitting, both engrossed in play.

Originally wanting to follow, they continued playing on their own after Shu Yu stopped them.

Shu Yu stepped out of the house and walked toward the right alley as the old lady had directed. The alley wasn’t very long, and it led to a street.

Madam Ruan and Daya’s location was past two more streets in a relatively bustling area.

Shu Yu walked leisurely, scanning the nearby surroundings.

After crossing one street, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure ahead.

Wasn’t that… Daya?

She paused, then quickly quickened her pace to catch up.

Daya seemed to be holding something and wasn’t walking fast, so Shu Yu didn’t speed up either.

Suddenly, Daya’s pace became frantic, and she seemed panicked as she swiftly turned a corner.

Startled, Shu Yu hastened her steps and pursued.

As she turned the corner, a gust of wind hit her straight in the face.

Shu Yu reacted very quickly, stepping back and looking up only to see Daya swinging a stick furiously at her.

Shu Yu, “Sister, it’s me.”

Daya paused, her panicked expression freezing instantly. She looked up, saw Shu Yu, and her face relaxed as the stick fell to the ground.

“Why is it you?” Daya exhaled deeply, hurriedly stepping forward to check on her, “I didn’t hit you, did I? Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Daya held her hand, “That’s good, that’s good. I thought someone was following me and I acted in a hurry without seeing who it was. But Yu, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in Righteous Dao Village?”
